Revenant

The Revenant is a shotgun in the new DmC: Devil May Cry. It lacks the speed of Ebony &amp; Ivory, but offers much more power and better crowd control options.

Description
The Revenant is a a hunting shotgun with a sawn-off bore. It has no stock, only a simple grip, with an engraved frame underlining the barrel. Unlike the classic Shotgun, it is not break-loading, and its spent shells eject upon firing.

The Revenant will also have Golden, Bone, and Samurai skins available through DLC packs that can also be obtained by pre-ordering the game.

Gameplay
The Revenant shotgun offers ranged options like all firearms, although different from the others. While it lacks the speed of Dante's twin pistols, it makes up for it with more devastatingly powerful shots. Instead of its rounds being used to attack enemies from far away, and keeping them juggled in the air, Revenant's shots spread out more, hitting multiple opponents in front of Dante, blasting them backwards and interrupting their attacks.

When Revenant is used against enemies caught in midair, its blast will actually pop the enemy higher, making it a great firearm choice for those looking to achieve a higher degree of aerial combat.

As a human weapon, the Revenant requires no shifting to Angel or Demon mode to draw the weapon. As a firearm, it can be swapped out on-the-fly by pressing Up on the Directional Pad. In midair, it's possible to perform a double jump or aerial dodge right after shooting Revenant to cancel the downtime between shots to immediately fire the weapon again.

Background
In European folklore, a "" is a visible ghost or animated corpse that has returned to terrorize the living.
